Can extra protein save muscle in dialysis patients?

This study looks at whether giving more protein (1.5-1.7 grams per kilogram per day) to critically ill patients with acute kidney injury who need continuous dialysis can reduce muscle wasting compared to standard protein intake (1.0-1.2 g/kg/d). About 56 adults will be randomly assigned to one of two protein levels for 7 days. The main goal is to measure changes in thigh muscle size using ultrasound.
